Stunning looking film, most scenes look like a painting. The story is ok, which is why I did not score 10/10. I watched the full 108 minute Blu-ray, imported from South Korea, as it seems the UK and US have the 92 minute release. There’s some moments of boobs and butt’s, but nothing too outrageous.

Typical Chinese historical war epic, with seven brothers charged with rescuing their father, the general, from his cutoff position after betrayal on the battlefield. Good pantomime baddie, decent action with some novel ideas, although there's some amount of 300 plagirism in show, albeit with a twist.

Scores an extra point for a very novel sniper duel in a long grass field.

The first was the better film. This one suffered from action fatigue, meaning there was simply too much going on for too long. It would have benefited from cutting down or out completely a good few of the action sequences and concentrating on some more cerebral, character building scenes.
Basically it lacked depth and was too long and too reliant on big set pieces. But still quite enjoyable and it made me chuckle a few times.

London based thriller from last year. Exceptionally violent and that's about it really. Not particularly well told and IMO a wasted opportunity. Some scenes quite difficult to watch and I'm sure pretty close to real life in some cases. Personally I think they went over the top with the violence for the sake of it.

Story about a airline pilot who has a drinking problem. Very poignant for me as my ex had the same issue, and she would never admit it. Very good acting from Denzil Washington, it's good to see actors earning their money and not shouting and blowing things up. Alcohol can really mess your life up kids.

Luckily for Baz the strength of the story holds this mess together. Awful and ill-fitting direction. Perhaps it's Jay-Z's fault. And Tobey Maguire's, of course.

The constant use of Jay-Z tunes throughout annoyed the piss out of me. I will say this though, once they got into the meat of the story it was much better and it actually improved as it went along but it that is mostly down to the source material. Oh and Joel Edgerton was excellent throughout, most of the rest of the cast were a bit pants. I'm really not convinced that Baz Luhrman is much of a director.

For many this is their first introduction to extreme face rape porn. Most don't even realise what they are watching, as unlike most films of this specialised genre it has a very good storyline and stands alone as an excellent sci-fi horror.

Raw looking mixed with excellent CGI. The whole film felt original, given the extraterrestrial theme. I loved the part with the guy in the huge robot walker type suit, effing and blinding in a South African accent.

I thought it was pretty great. Source material speaks for itself and Lurhman's style worked really well I thought, it was the perfect film for that approach as everyone knows the story and everything else behind it, that didn't need to be explored in the film. A bog standard interpretation of it would be/is pointless really.

Depends if you like Luhrmans style really, personally I thought it worked for Romeo + Juliet and it worked here.

Only watched this as was talking to a mate about horror films recently and he mentioned it. I'd heard a few things about it but never seen it until now.

Well, what a complete waste of an hour and a half. Sick for sake of being sick with a crap story, awful dialogue and one of the worst films I've seen in a long time. Why anyone would enjoy this tripe is beyond me.

With F&F6 hitting the big screen, I thought I'd finally retrieve no 5 from the 'to watch' pile.
Other than Tokyo Drift, which I thought was a bit dull, most of them have been great popcorn-munching entertainment, but 5 absolutely nailed it.

Great 'let's put the band back together' vibe, ridiculous plot, complete disregard for dealing with complex problems with the copious use of 'I had a life before you knew me.' and as much humour as no 2, which was great fun.

And it never got so over the top that they couldn't push it just a bit more!
